“Duga noć” (“Long Night”) finds Kemal Monteno in a familiar singer-songwriter setting: a quiet room, music continuing after everyone else has gone, and a memory that makes the hours harder to bear. The song turns nighttime into a space for recollection, where even a beloved melody can deepen the narrator's sense of absence. Monteno's gentle delivery keeps the sadness intimate, without pushing it toward melodrama.

The track appeared on *Za svoju dušu*, Monteno's 1980 album. He composed the music, M. Marić wrote the lyrics and S. Kalogjera arranged the recording. That creative combination supports the song's understated character: the melody carries the emotion, while the arrangement gives Monteno room to sound conversational and close. The album belongs to a period when his blend of pop balladry and regional lyrical sensibility was reaching a broad audience across Yugoslavia.

No dependable chart peak is recorded for “Duga noć,” but the song remains available through digital catalogues and official recordings. Its emotional premise is simple yet durable: a long night can turn every song into a reminder of someone who is gone. That feeling places it among Monteno's most intimate ballads, where the everyday setting matters as much as the romantic subject. The track is a quiet example of the songwriter's ability to make memory sound immediate.
